The Wrong Mans Audience Reviews

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
maggie davidson I have been waiting for the wrong mans to come to Australia since my Aunty from England was telling me about it when she came down under. I was very impatient and not even sure whether it was going to air in Australia so I got the DVD box set and watched a total of about 3 hours of the Wrong Mans. The first thing I realised was that the actor for Sam was a guy off Horrible Histories and I was immediately hooked! There were so many cliff hangers and twists and turns that and funny moments that I had to pause the telly for a few minutes so I could catch up on a laugh. James Corden and Mathew Baynton are truly talented with there writing and acting abilities and would recommend this show to anyone. come on guys, it's only 3 hours out of your time and it would be well worth it...The Wrong Mans comes out in Australia Wednesday the 12 of March!!! I am definitely going to watch it again!
recline69 From the very first frame of this clever Hitchcockian comedy/thriller you will be glued to the screen wondering how the two leads are going to escape the situations they find themselves in. Time after time, inventive, funny and dangerous escape plans are hatched and executed with a cleverness we haven't seen on TV for a long time. There are so many moments in the series were it delves into the cliché and tired tropes of thrillers, yet takes them and twists them in clever and unexpected ways which makes it so much fun to watch. Episodes three and five are stand outs and it's one of those series where you just want to watch the next episode immediately. The production values are great and the acting in general is good. My only complaints are: 1. I'd like to have seen the love interest developed a little smoother and 2. The last episode does fall into those tired and cliché tropes of movies in general. It feels lazy in comparison to all the cleverness that has led up to the ending, but the journey as a whole is still extremely satisfying and ultimately a blast to watch. Totally recommended.
Bakalite I'm not going to wax lyrical about production, or indeed the constant juxtaposition between characters, drama, and of course comedy. It really does speak for itself.My only criticism is that I wish the episodes were longer. How they pull it off in the short format is an amazing testament to the authors skill.I'd also add that I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like this. Its quite remarkable. Sure, I've seen comparisons, but this is pretty unique. Its also slick, dark comedy. Me, I found the first episode compelling, wanting more, but was left feeling slightly uncomfortable, wondering whether the writers could pull it off. Well, they did, in spades.
pauldcmt-1 This suffers from a no of issues: ludicrous plot; sloppy scripting; cartoon characterisations; weak punch lines; predictable developments; bad acting; adolescent humour.I have seen higher calibre school drama productions. It has absolutely no redeeming qualities.It makes Springtime for Hitler in The Producers look like Citizen Kane.To what depths can British TV comedy sink? Let's hope this is the ocean floor.Maybe they could find a use for it in Guantanamo Bay?Frankly, a little disappointing.
